WATER-HEATING ATTACHMENT.

Application filed April 18,

To all 'ZU/ZOI/Z it may concern:

Be it known that we, Crraiuins E. KAN- 'iron and FRANK Sononrn, citizens of the United States, and residents of the city of Chicago, county of Cook,.and State of lilinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in ater-floating Attaclr ments, of which the following is a specification. I

Our invention relates to a novel water heating attachment to be applied to gas, oil, or other stoves and has for its object the provision of a quickly detachable or attachable hot water heating device to be used with such a stove. The attachment is adapted to be interposed between the flame issuing from the usual. burner of the stove and the ordinary supporting plate for cooking vessels. Vi e preferably make the hot water device and the cooking vessel integral, as this arrangement facilitates the attachment or removal of the device.

Our invention provides for cooking food, heating water and warming the air of the compartment in which same is used by means of an ordinary gas or kerosene burner at one time, thereby saving fuel, time and labon Other objects will appear hereinafter.

The invention consists in the combinations and arrangements of parts hereinafter described and claimed.

The invention will be best understood by reference to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, and in which,

Fig. 1 is a. top plan view of the water heating attachment as applied to an ordinary gas or kerosene stove;

Fig. 2 is an edge view of the attachment on line 2--2 of Fig. 1; and,

Fig. 3 is a similar edge view of the water heating attachment attached to an ordinary form of cooking vessel support.

Our attachment preferably comprises a hollow disk 1 having a preferably concentric star-shaped aperture 2 therein and being provided with radially disposed circumferential openings 3 and .4: for the entry and discharge of water. The disk 1 as shown in the drawing has a six pointed star-shaped aperture, but the shape of this aperture may be varied to suit different conditions.

The openings 3 and 4 of the heating disk 1 may be connected to any suitable water Specification of Letters Patent.

supply (not shown) and to an ordinary I home storage tank (not shown) respectively,

in the'usual manner; or a small port-able tank may be provided to store the water heated by the disk 1.

being adapted to rest on the top of a or kerosene stove S in the usual manner and to be secured thereto by means of screws 9 engaging threaded sockets in said stove. lfhe spider 5 carrying the disk 1. is then in such a posit-ion that the disk 1 is disposed between the flame of the burner 6 and the prongs 7 of the spider which prongs support any suitable cooking vessel.

The supporting spider 5 carrying the water heating disk 1 may be manufactured in various sizes and shapes to fit stoves having a plurality of burners and the disk 1 also may be manufactured in different shapes so as to cover as many burners as desired. The projecting prongs 7 as shown in Fig. 1 may be dispensed with if desired.

As stated the disk 1 and supporting plate 5 are preferably cast integral, but if desired or where necessary, we may construct the water h eating disk 1 in such a manner that it can be readily attached to an ordinary supporting spider already on a gas or kerosene stove by means of a hook 9 as shown in Fig. 3 and thus accomplish the same result with possibly greater adaptation in applying the disk 1 under certain circumstances than when the plate and disk are made intogral. Said disk and plate are preferably made of cast iron though any suitable ma terial may be used.

It will. be observed that by the use of our invention the ordinary gas, or oil stove burner can be utilized to perform the usual cooking operation and at the same time and with the same amount of fuel heat the water, which may be stored in a. tank where it will be available for use, and also through'radiation of heat from the water heating disk,

heating theroom in which it is located; and 105" same time instead of having to light an additional burner to heat water for .washlng pur poses, she can store up such Water for such rying our invention into 1 efliect, this is capable of variation andmodification Without departing from the spirit of the invention. iVe ijllGYCfOl'G, do not Wishto be limited to the precise details of the construction set forth, but desire to avail ourselves of such variations and modifications as come Within the scope of the appended claims.

Having described our invention What We claim as new and desire to secure lay-Letters Patent is:-- V v 1. In combination with a burner, a water heating attachment comprising a hollow disc disposedzabove' the fiameof saidburner and heated thereby; projecting arms on said disc for supporting. same in position, and a supporting spider mounted on said projections.

.2. In combination with avburner, awater heating attachment comprising a hollow disc disposedabove the flame of said burner; con- Yolutions in said disc heated by said flame; projecting arms on said disc forsupporting samein position; and a supporting spider mounted on said projections.

3. In combination with a burner, a- Water heating attachment comprising a hollow disc disposed above the flame of said burner; convolutions in said disc heated by said flame; projecting arins on said disc forsupportingsame in :position; a supporting spider mounted on said projections; and inwardly rarhatmg utensil supporting arms mounted on said spider.

In testimony whereof We have signed our names to this speclficatlon 111 the presence of two subscribingWitnesses.
